Game Music Corner – Super Mario Galaxy

Welcome to Front Towards Gamer’s video game music retrospective, Game Music Corner.Each article will feature some of the best that video game music has to offer, from the NES to the PlayStation 3 and everything in between with some of gaming’s greatest melodies.

With the upcoming release of Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, the magical melodies of Mario have been circling throughout my head.
